Kobalt Cordless pole saw
By: dhraphael Date: May 20, 2017, 3:37 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Good Day ... The other day I purchased my first power pole saw.
I chose this Kobalt model mainly because of the freedom of no
cords. The battery charges pretty fast and so far will work for
several hours at a time. I like the feel of it and its pretty
well balanced. The blade could be a little longer (its 8" and 10
or 12 would have been nice). But the only actual functional
issue i have is the over all length.
The saw has 3 parts. the battery/controls, an extension pole and
the business end. all together you get its full reach. And in
there is my problem. Its too damn short. What i need is a second
extension pole to give me a couple more feet and that would
solve 90% of my cutting needs short of just getting a bigger
ladder to drag around.
So, my questions is .. does any one know if there s a way to buy
this as a spare piece, cause I don't see that Lows sells it
separate.
Or .. If any of you guys can recommend a different brand and
model that will get me to 12' to 15' out of the box I would
appreciate it.
Thanks .. Dhraphael

Pretty much how long the non extendable ones are. Dont see any
extensions for it either.

Gas go look at the echo ppt 266 280 etc. Like 13' 1". I had the
260 and loved it. Plus you can buy 4' extension.
